In episode 84, we catch up with friend of the podcast, the inspirational Amla Mehta. Born with a super-rare eye condition that has led to her being legally blind, Amla has created a charming daily reader combining personal insights as well as beautiful nuggets of daily inspiration. There's a nugget of inspiration for every single day of the year. Hence the "365" in the title... In this conversation, we speak about her inspiration for writing this book and how different her process was for this book compared to her first one.

About Amla: Amla Mehta is a speaker, teacher, and author who encourages all beings to live authentically by embodying self-love and speaking their truth. As a woman living with tunnel vision, she is an advocate and activist on behalf of all people living with disabilities, whether they have mobility, hearing, vision, cognitive, or other challenges.

Amla graduated from the University of Connecticut with a degree in Sociology. She has also developed her own intensive yoga and meditation practice, a discipline she draws on for writing, speaking, and inspiring others. She loves hugging trees and practicing meditation by the Farmington River, located in Connecticut.
